Universal Unit Converter

What is the Universal Unit Converter MCP Server?

Large Language Models often approximate metric-to-imperial conversions, which can lead to critical errors in engineering, development, or logistics. The Universal Unit Converter MCP delegates these conversions to a robust, exact mathematical engine.

The Superpowers

  • Zero Approximation: Guarantees absolute mathematical precision by replacing LLM guesses with deterministic JavaScript algorithms.
  • Universal Coverage: Flawlessly converts across Length (metric/imperial), Weight, Temperature (C/F/K), and Digital Storage (using binary 1024 multipliers).
  • Privacy First (Local): Executes 100% locally. Zero API calls, meaning your sensitive engineering metrics or server logs never leave your machine.

Built-in capabilities (4)

convert_digital_storage

g., 1 KB = 1024 B). Converts digital storage using binary prefixes (B, KB, MB, GB, TB)

convert_length

Converts length between metric and imperial (km, m, cm, mm, mi, yd, ft, in)

convert_temperature

Converts temperature between Celsius (C), Fahrenheit (F), and Kelvin (K)

convert_weight

Converts weight between metric and imperial (kg, g, lb, oz)

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Universal Unit Converter data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 4 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Are digital storage conversions based on base-10 (1000) or base-2 (1024)?

The digital storage tool strictly uses base-2 (binary multipliers of 1024), which is the standard for memory and file system operations (e.g., 1 KB = 1024 B).

02

Why use this instead of letting Claude or ChatGPT convert the values?

LLMs hallucinate subtle decimal errors when converting odd metrics (like 17.3 miles to centimeters). This tool forces the AI to use exact deterministic formulas.

03

Does it require internet access?

No. The entire engine is local and executes purely on local hardware without any API requests.

04

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

05

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

06

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

07

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
